FHUG Wish List

Reference	636
Title	Named List programmable access
Category	Lists
Description	Problem Description Currently, there are no data references or functions that access Named Lists apart from the three functions =HasNoteInList(...), =IsInList(...) and =IsLinkedFromList(...) which only return a boolean result. There are no programmable mechanisms for automatically adding records to a list, removing records from a list, and managing list properties such as list note text and member record local note text. By contrast, Record Flags are not only supported by the =HasFlag(...) function but also have data references %INDI._FLGS...% that allow them to be added and removed by plugins. Proposed Solution Named Lists should have data references &/or functions to support adding records, removing records, managing list properties such as local notes and list order, and creating/deleting Named Lists. The objectives include: Allow the Named List local note text to be retrieved in Expressions just like any other Notes. Allow the Named List member record local note text to be retrieved in Expressions just like other Notes. Allow the Named List records, local notes, and other properties to be fully managed by plugins. See the New Wish List Requests Forum WEB LINK entry for implementation suggestions.
